KOCHI: The Kerala cabinet on Wednesday approved the promotion of senior IPS officer ADGP MR Ajithkumar, who was recently embroiled in a political row over his "controversial meetings" with RSS leaders, to the rank of director general of police.

The 1995 batch officer had been under fire from the opposition and the CPI for his "controversial meetings" with senior RSS leaders last year and alleged role in the disruption of the Thrissur Pooram. Congress accused the police of disrupting the festival to help the BJP win the Lok Sabha seat from central Kerala. He was removed as ADGP (law and order) and posted to the Armed Police Battalion in October.

A release from the chief minister's office stated that the cabinet approved the recommendations of the scrutiny committee regarding promotion of existing IPS officers in the state cadre.
